New Performing Arts Center: Opening in 2008!

Construction of the new Performaing Arts Center continues on schedule. Our departments will be completely moved into the exciting new facility by the summer of 2008, and special gala events are being planned for October 2008 to show off our new state-of-the-art performing spaces (as well as celebrate major anniversaries of our Dance and Music departments).
The 2007-2008 Season Schedule includes an unprecedented number of special performances and events. With a rich assortment of mainstage and second stage performances in Theatre and Dance, and with 29 music concerts, there's something for everyone. Other good news: all events remain free while we await out entry into the new Performing Arts Center.
